The Beach

Posted by  | Published in Family Fun  

We went to the beach today after school.  After dad’s projects too!  He was able to take call so he worked on hanging the bathroom door during school.  Not quite done so no pictures.  Tomorrow hopefully it and the girls room will be done.  Anyway, back to the subject of the beach.  It was fun.  We climbed the big sand hill and then the girls had a fun rolling down it.  Yep, I said rolling.  They had sand EVERYWHERE!

After climbing the hill we checked out the rocks.

I dared Emily and Jacob to jump off the rocks and run through the sand between the waves.  Then dad went ahead and double dog dared them.  I truly thought it would be safe…… Uhhh not so much.  They watched the waves intently and jumped into the sand at the perfect time running like mad.  Next wave behind them.  Then wam, down went Emily.  I hadn’t thought the whole thing through and apparently either had she.  There was a few “pot holes” between the sand and the rocks.  Sooooo it was a mini sandbar I guess.  Anyway, down she went into a hole.  Managed to get herself out before the wave but then Wam!  Fell into another hole.  This time the wave hit her and she was gone.  Bang, Bang, Bang on the rocks.  The wave receded and she climbed out.  Stood there looking at us arms out and said “I want to go home.”  Jacob had ran down the other side and luckily didn’t hit any potholes.  He did get hit by the wave too but he was able to stay on solid ground.  His legs got pounded and when he came up to me said “I’m never coming to the beach for 5 years!”  There were tons of spectators as well as Doug and I ready to jump in and save them.  Boy did we look like horrid parents.  I was petrified!  Good lesson for all of us on the power of water!  I really thought they could just run up the sand through the rocks.  Never envisioned the wave hitting them or the pot holes!   Doug wanted a picture of them afterwards and they both turned around.  Neither would look at the camera!
